Nature-Inspired Bedroom: Light Upon Waking

A biophilic designed bedroom. The bed's position is arranged: with a solid wall behind for support, facing the window but not directly, so the first light of dawn falls diagonally on the foot of the bed rather than on the face. The window has a low sill, allowing a view of tree branches and leaves and the sky from the bed. The curtains are thin linen, translucent, allowing one to wake with natural light instead of an alarm clock. On one side of the headboard, there is a medium-sized plant, its leaves gently swaying in the airflow. Materials are solid wood, wool, and cotton linen, with no synthetic fibers. The window is slightly ajar, allowing the sound of birds from outside to be heard. The ceiling above the bed is slightly lowered, creating a sense of enclosure. Lighting consists of only two very warm, small lamps. Avoid: using thick, completely blackout curtains, placing the bed in the center of the room without support, using artificial plants and synthetic fiber textiles, adding main ceiling lights and recessed lights.

一間親自然設計的臥室。床的位置經過安排:背後是實牆有靠,面向窗但不正對,清晨的第一道光會斜斜地落在床尾而不是臉上。窗是低窗台的,躺在床上可以看見樹的枝葉與天空。窗簾是薄的亞麻,可以透光,讓人隨自然的光線醒來而不是鬧鐘。床頭一側有一株中型的植物,葉片在氣流中輕微擺動。材料是實木、羊毛與棉麻,沒有化纖。窗開著一道縫,可以聽見外面的鳥聲。天花在床的上方略微降低,形成包覆感。照明只有兩盞極暖的小燈。避免:使用完全遮光的厚窗簾、把床放在房間中央沒有依靠、使用人造植物與化纖織品、加入天花主燈與嵌燈。
